Hi there, @user23775 and welcome to the Community 👋

Thanks for the idea!

I agree that it would be awesome to have this option in the settings. If this request gets more votes, we’ll try to think it over in the future 🙂

As for now, you can do this using this code in the Custom JS field on the General tab of your widget’s settings:

`widget.window.open();`
